I recently posted about getting a junk page before every printout, and this page was recommended. http://excess.org/docs/linux_windows_printing.html
Unfortunately, it doesn't work in my case. I purged all lpr* and cups* packages and started from scratch with cupsys and cupsys-bsd. This combination would not print anything: the lights never even blinked on the printer. Then I tried cupsys + lprng and went through all the CUPS drivers: with the recommended (hl1250) driver, console printing (e.g. lpr file) works but not the CUPS test page (the printer lights blink and it makes a noise but nothing prints); also nothing appears when printing from the Windows machine on the LAN. With all the other HL1450 drivers, printing from the Debian machine works but not from the Windows machine: this generates an email error message: Subject: Rejected print job Your print job was automatically rejected as an invalid data type. Cannot print PJL files on this printer. Same results with cupsys + lpr. The only good news is that I'm no longer getting the junk page, but Samba printing is an extremely serious problem! Here's a list of relevant packages (cut from dpkg -l): ii lpr 2000.05.07-5 ii cupsys 1.1.20final-15 ii cupsys-driver-gimpprint 4.2.5-6 ii samba 3.0.2-2 ii samba-common 3.0.2-2 ii samba-doc 3.0.2-2 ii smbclient 3.0.2-2 ii smbfs 3.0.2-2 ii foomatic-bin 3.0.0-20040203-2 ii foomatic-db 20040203-1 ii foomatic-db-engine 3.0.0-20040203-2 ii foomatic-db-hpijs 1.5-20040203-2 ii foomatic-filters 3.0.0-20040203-1 ii foomatic-filters-ppds 20040203-1 ii magicfilter 1.2-56 I would really appreciate help fixing this problem. -- Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
